"My family have already expressed many sentiments that I have felt about our two weeks in Portugal. I have particularly spent a lot of time in the house because it is so stunning: fabulous views, comfortable, spacious; also full of warmth, life and memories of the family which has built and enjoyed it for so many years. I wish you and your family much happiness and joy in the future, José. Thank you again for your kind and generous welcome. If Francisco was here this evening, I would open a bottle of wine to thank him for recommending your beautiful house to us." - 05/09/2003
